SEARS Archaeological excavations at the Lawson Field site on the Fort Benning Military Reservation, near Columbus, Georgia, were undertaken during three weeks in June of 1938. Work was conducted and financed by the National Park Service. Mr. J.D. Jennings, Acting Superintendent of Ocmulgee National Monu­ ment, detached a twenty man C.C.C. crew for a laboring force, with Gordon R. Willey as Archaeologist-in-charge. The project was jointly sponsored by the Society for Georgia Archaeology. Particular thanks are due the late Dr. C. C. Harrold, then presi­ dent of the Society, and Mrs. H. Wayne Patterson, who made the local arrangements. This report is based on Gordon Willey's field notes and the preliminary report which he prepared in 1938-1939. W. H. Sears edited, revised, and brought up to date this preliminary report. In the course of these revisions the pottery classifications were re-checked and the final ceramic tabulation was drawn up. Con­ clusions and comparisons were drafted by Sears in 1954 with review and agreement by Willey. Surface collections of sherds from the site were seen to be closely related to the Ocmulgee Fields complex, already identi­ fied as late seventeenth-and early eighteenth-century Creek in Central Georgia. A check of the documents indicated the town of Kasita as the most probable identification, which is supported by the results of the excavations. Perhaps the most conclusive pieces of evidence, indicating that the Lawson Field site is actually the remains of the town of Kasita, are Hawkin's description of the route from the falls­ at the present location of Columbus-to the town, his description of the surroundings1 and the Early Map of 1818.2 The description of the route checks out very well on modern maps, as does his description of the site and its surroundings. A similar course today will lead out only on Lawson's Field, the surroundings of which fit Hawkins's description. A description of the town in 1820 is also available, and may be quoted here. It appears to consist of about 100 houses, many of them elevated on poles two to six feet high, and built of unhewn 1. Swanton, 1922, pp. 222-223. 2. Reproduced in Swanton, 1922, end maps. 4 SOUTHERN INDIAN STUDIES [IV, 1952 logs, with roofs of bark, and little patches of Indian Corn before the doors. In the center of the town we passed a large building with a conical roof, supported by a circular wall about three feet high; close to it was a quadrangular space, enclosed by four open buildings, with a row of benches rising above one another; the whole was appropriated, we wer e informed, to the great council of the town, who meet under shelter or in the open air, according to the weather. Near the spot was a high pole, like our May-poles, with a bird at the top, round which the Indians celebrated their Green Corn dance. The town or township of Cosita is said to be able to muster seven hundred warriors, while the number belonging to the whole nation is not estimated at more than 3,500.3 Unfortunately, most of what must have been a rather large site, judging by contemporary descriptions and by Moore's impression of it in 1907 as the Hall's Landing site,4 had been destroyed prior to excavation in the construction of Lawson Field. Excavation was limited to what must have been the extreme river edge of the town. (See map, Plate II.) In spite of this, there is, as noted above, little doubt that this is the location of the Creek Town of Kasita. The town was occupied by the Musk­ hogee-speaking Kasita Creeks from about 1715, when they returned from the upper Oconee-Ocmulgee area at the outbreak of the Yamassee wars, until the removal to Oklahoma shortly after 1830. The collections then are representative, as far as they go, of the culture of this period. This is a rather long time period, with a ceramic collection of only 3,284 sherds as the major cul­ tural diagnostic. Nevertheless, there seems little doubt that this collection is representative, a matter to be discussed in some detail further on. EXCAVATION Taking into account the limited area of the site remaining, as well as the time and labor force available, excavation units were laid out to sample as much of the area as possible. On three main axes, units two and one-half by fifteen feet were staked out, spaced even distances apart. (See map, Plate II.) These units were designed for easy expansion, which was desirable in several cases. With very few exceptions, a rather scant artifact yield was confined to the sandy, plow-disturbed, recent humus. :!. Hodgson, 1823, in Swanton, 1922, p. 224. 4. Moore, 1907, p. 449. Willey and Sears] KAsiTA SITE 5 There were encountered a few smaller refuse pits, a small amount of undisturbed midden in one trench, a rough post-hole alignment from a probably rectilinear building, and two burials. The only one with any grave goods was in the building area, the section expanded from Unit 37. CERAMICS Willey, with an independent check by Sears, analyzed sherds by excavation unit. When results were compared, after sherd batches were lumped from adjacent units with very low yields, no significant differences in areal distribution were observable. There is a hint that coarse plain sherds were commoner in the units of the 0 station, but all of these units together produced only 119 sherds, which were the smallest and most heavily eroded specimens found. This area seems to have been the fringe, or the fringe of the fringe, of the town. The ceramic complex is limited to five types, Ocmulgee Fields Incised,5 Chattahoochee Brushed,6 Kasita Red Filmed,7 a coarse plain ware and a smooth plain ware. We may discuss them in the order given. Ocmulgee Fields Incised: Except that no sherds of this, or any other type, were shell tempered at this site, the sherds of this type conform very closely to the published type description. Chattahoochee Brushed: The brushed ware found is defin­ itely the type which Bullens described on the basis of collections made further down the Chattahoochee River in the Jim Wood­ ruff Reservoir. With a rather larger sample on hand than was available to Bullen, some comments and additions may be in order. Brushing, performed with a bundle of fine twigs or coarse grass used broom fashion, seems to cover all of the vessel exterior between the neck constriction and the base. One slightly thick­ ened rim, brushed to the lip, was found, and one rim sherd with luted rim strip was brushed along its lower edge, below the neck constriction. This sherd, plus the paste and "feel" of others, leads to a strong suspicion that most of the rims with luted strips are from Chattahoochee Brushed vessels. Others may be 5.

There are a number of irregularly rough­ ened sherds and two with cob-marking. These two are both from vessel necks, and one of them was brushed at one edge. These would seem to indicate that constricted necks were often not brushed and might well be cob-marked. Judging by areas of overlap, giving some idea of the size of the brush, a four- to six­ inch brush, quite probably round, may have been used. Use of a clay "wash" is improbable. The exterior surfaces, often blue-white or light gray, appear in many cases to have been self-slipped or "floated" befor e being brushed. Interiors have been so treated uniformly. This means simply that a wet hand or other wet tool was used to smooth the surfaces after the vessel was quite dry and sturdy. As Bullen notes, this type is rather abundant on the lower and middle Chattahoochee. A large number of thus far unre­ ported sites have been found on the Georgia side of the reservoir which are characterized by this pottery type.9 Since Bullen pub­ lished his description, it has become quite certain that the Creeks continued to manufacture this ware, along with Ocmulgee Fields Incised, in some quantities after the removal to Oklahoma. Com­ plete vessels have been reported by Schmittl0 and by Quimbly and Spoehr.11 Sherds of the two types have been found in Okla­ homa village sites12 where they have been called Mcintosh Roughened and Mcintosh Smoothed. The latter includes both our smooth plain ware and Ocmulgee Fields Incised. The names are from an unpublished 1948 report by Wenner. Ocmulgee Fields Incised clearly has priority and, since Mcintosh Roughened was unfortunately not published until three years after Bullen's description, it appears best that we stick to Bullen's term to avoid further confusion. A few trade sherds of Chattahoochee Brushed and a few of Kasita Red Filmed have been found in early historic Cherokee context at the Etowah site. It is also understood that a few of the brushed sherds were found elsewhere in this area.13 The Seminoles continued to make closely related pottery for some time.14 A closely related type is Walnut Roughened,15 a type found at the Trading Post at Ocmulgee National Monument, 9.

  • Junaluska, the Cherokee Who Saved Andrew Jackson's Life and Made Him a National Hero, Lived to Regret It
    Junaluska, the Cherokee who saved Andrew Jackson’s life and made him a national hero, lived to regret it. Born in the North Carolina mountains around 1776, he made his name and his fame among his own people in the War of 1812 when the mighty tribe of Creek Indians allied themselves with the British against the United States. At the start of the Creek War, Junaluska recruited some 800 Cherokee warriors to go to the aid of Andrew Jackson in northern Alabama. Joined by reinforcements from Tennessee, including more Cherokee, the Cherokee spent the early months of 1814 performing duties in the rear, while Jackson and his Tennessee militia moved like a scythe through the Creek towns. However, that March word came that the Creek Indians were massed behind fortifications at Horseshoe Bend. Jackson, with an army of 2,000 men, including 500 Cherokee led by Junaluska, set out for the Bend, 70 miles away. There, the Tallapoosa River made a bend that enclosed 100 acres in a narrow peninsula opening to the north. On the lower side was an island in the river. Across the neck of the peninsula the Creek had built a strong breastwork of logs and hidden dozens of canoes for use if retreat became necessary. Storming The Fort: The fort was defended by 1,000 warriors. There also were 300 women and children. As cannon fire bombarded the fort, the Cherokee crossed the river three miles below and surrounded the bend to block the Creek escape route. They took position where the Creek fort was separated from them by water.

  • John G. Burnett, “The Cherokee Removal Through the Eyes of a Private Soldier” December 11, 1890
    John G. Burnett, “The Cherokee Removal Through the Eyes of a Private Soldier” December 11, 1890 Annotation By President Andrew Jackson’s election in 1828, the only large concentrations of Indian tribes remaining on the east coast were located in the South. The Cherokee had adopted the settled way of life of the surrounding—and encroaching—white society. They were consequently known, along with the Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw, as one of the “Five Civilized Tribes.” “Civilization,” however, was not enough, and the Jackson administration forced most of these tribes west during the first half of the 1830s, clearing southern territory for the use of whites. Chief John Ross was the principal chief of the Cherokee in Georgia; in this 1836 letter addressed to “the Senate and House of Representatives,” Ross protested as fraudulent the Treaty of New Etocha that forced the Cherokee out of Georgia. In 1838, federal troops forcibly displaced the last of the Cherokee from their homes; their trip to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) is known as the “Trail of Tears.” In May 1838, federal militias started to round up Cherokees and move them into stockades (concentration camps) in several southern states. They were then forced to march 1,000 miles westward. 4,000 to 6,000 Cherokees died as a result of the removal. The journey became known as “the Trail of Tears” or “the Trail where They Cried.” Fifty years later, in 1890, Private John Burnett, who served in the mounted infantry, told his children his memories of the Trail of Tears, which he described as the “execution of the most brutal order in the History of American Warfare.” This is my birthday, December 11, 1890.

Appearing as Publication 13 in the Council Series, "A guide to research papers in the archaeology of North Carolina on file with the Archaeology Branch of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History" provided a list of 661 works to those involved with archaeological research or resource management. Most of these works, which cover archaeological projects throughout the state, were unpublished. Since the publication of that bibliography, the Archaeology Branch's file of dissertations, theses, articles, and contract reports on archaeology has grown. In addition, many of the major sources of published archaeological works in North Carolina have been indexed for use in environmental review at the branch. As a result, the number of additional references has led to the compilation of a second bibliography. As in the first bibliography, the works l1sted here represent a wide variety of research interests, techniques, formats, and purposes. The geographical focus varies from excavations of single structures or surveys of one-acre plots of land to overviews of physiographic regions that include one-third of the state.
